 Trump Threatens to Destroy All of Iran’s Power, Oil and Water Facilities as ‘Retribution’

President Donald Trump threatened to destroy all of Iran’s power plants, oil wells, and desalinization plants in a Truth Social post on Monday.

Retired U.S. Army General and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Wesley Clark, advised the president against bombing Iranian power plants and other civilian infrastructure last week, warning that such an attack could be considered a “war crime.”

A lot of people will say it’s a war crime because mostly these power plants are probably there for the civilian population,” said Clark, who warned “you cannot destroy civilian assets in an effort to put harm on the population.”

He concluded, “Now, if you can show it has a military connection, that’s different. But if it’s simply to put pressure on the government by harming the civilian population, then that’s de jure– that’s a war crime.”

During an interview with the Financial Times on Sunday, Trump admitted that his ideal outcome for the war would be to “take the oil in Iran.”
